Your Majesty, there has been a slanderous rumour circulating in the Imperial Palace.
In what regards? My policies? Was sothing we discussed leaked, or is there so strange rumour being spread?
None of the above. Freya bit her lip. After much hesitation, she elaborated, The topic is spreading primarily from the maids and so gossip from the noble ladies. They are claiming your relationship with the Consorts is facing problems. They say you cannot satisfy them, which is why lots of people have an urge to do sothing to your relationship with them.
The rumour left with a stupefied look: What sort of bizarre rumour is that? Where is this coming from? Nier, Lucia and I havent had any conflicts. Why do I suddenly have a problem with my Consorts?
Maybe that was why the rumour existed.
Freya smiled helplessly: Sorry, Your Majesty, but I do not know how the rumour started, myself. Either way, the topic has now reached the streets and alleys, too. Whatever the case may be, it is not bad news about the imperial family. Of course, we cannot punish the person who started the rumour. However, we can, at least, clear up the rumour. It is not favourable to you as a man, after all. It will be troubleso for your dignity.
Have I not been intimate with Nier and Lucia for a long ti these days?
I touched my head. Recently, I had relatively lots of work. I needed to handle the military business and et with lots of people. I was busy all the way until night ti. Nier turned in by the ti I was done. It wasnt the best idea to disturb Lucia, either, as her energy was at its peak during those hours, while I was too tired to play with her. As a result, I didnt done anything with my two wives in a long ti.
I ate breakfast together with my wives, but I gave Freya more attention because she might say sothing important. My two wives were understanding and sensible; they never interrupted us. In saying that, I finally realised I hadnt spent ti with them in a long ti.
Ill leave a little earlier tonight. Freya, I want to have dinner with my wives.
Freya softly chortled: Sure. You have done so much since returning that even I feel sorry for the two Consorts. You should have dinner with them tonight. It would be best if you could go on a holiday sowhere with them. That will show the public that your relationship with them is healthy.

Several hours later
Lucia gently pushed the door to the kitchen open. Xia had her back to the door. She was in the midst of humming a cheerful lody that accompanied the gurgling from the pot. She had her head down as she chopped up vegetables. Evidently, she enjoyed the process of cooking.
My husband invited to dinner at noon today, which ans an opportunity! rationalised Lucia.
Lucia looked at the ceiling of the kitchen. For Lucia, the beams were no different to a normal road. She tightened her grip on the vial in her hand and then grabbed onto the pillar.
Xia, Nier ca in and called out to Xia.
Xia quickly put her knife down and spun around. She bowed with a smile: Your Majesty, how may I help you?
I want to personally make a dish for my husband. You can leave for now. Is there anything in particular that I need to pay attention to?
Oh, sure, you have to keep an eye on this pot. The contents are almost ready. You just need to ensure the cheese does not completely lt.
Understood.
Because Nier was competent in the kitchen, Xia was able to leave Nier in charge of the kitchen by herself. While the two were speaking, Lucia poured the contents in her vial into the at stew from above. She hopped down from the beam in similar fashion to a monkey to shut the lid, and then jumped back up to slide her way outside.

At dinner
Nier and Lucia were seated on either side of . They both hugged one arm each and hostilely glared at each other. I silently picked up my knife and fork to cut the steak in front of . I dipped it in a bit of at stew and ate it. I said, I invited my two Consorts so that we could talk and get along. I thought you two knew what would happen. I couldnt possibly invite just one of you.
Nier gave an aggressive look. Then, she suddenly slamd her hand on the table and jumped to her feet: Thats not the issue, Dear. The issue is that there should only be the two of us tonight! I went out of my way to buy a drug so that youd co to , but is this woman supposed to join us for a threeso now?! I can overlook the other tis, but not this ti! I can only accept one person this ti!!
What?!! Lucia looked at Nier with shock. She also slamd the table: You despicable human! How dare you drug my Prince Troy?!! Its obvious youve lost your charm, human! Youre resorting to drugs?! I just used a teeny bit of our elven love potion, yet you want to use aphrodisiacs for animals?!
And you have the right to complain about all of a sudden?! Didnt you resort to drugs all the sa?!
Our love potion shouldnt be ntioned in the sa sentence as your sinister drug! Dont you fra us! What we have is a noble love! Wait!! Wait! What are you doing?! Your Highness! Your Highness dont dont not here what are you doing?!
Your Majesty! That drug is mine! Its mine! You should be doing it with Wait What are you doing..? What are you doing?! Stop! Stop! I cant accept a threeso! I cant ah! Your Majesty You you, hnng
The maid delivering the food awkwardly stopped at the door. She could hear the ecstatic moans that would make anyone go red in the face coming from inside. She had no idea what she was supposed to do.
Everyone said that the Kings relationship with his Consorts wasnt as good as it was in the past. So even said His majesty fell for his sister, Freya, and therefore gave his wives the cold shoulder. So went as far as to claim that it was because the two Consorts didnt give birth to a boy. If he could do it with both of his Consorts simultaneously in the dining hall, there was no way that hed have a poor relationship with them, would he?
Based on the sounds coming from within, His Majesty seems to be in good health They sure are open-minded, though Its probably going to be a big effort to clean up after thought the maid.
The rumour was quickly squashed thereafter. But nevertheless, a miraculous drug began to circulate among the noble ladies. The drug could even be used to seduce n whenever one pleased. Later on, Freya captured the man and had him executed to ensure the dangerous drug would stop circulating. Needless to say, that was all afterwards. After what happened, Nier and Lucia no longer felt so apprehensive about each other. After all, they did sothing strange to each other that evening.
